We are a group of gardeners and plant lovers who meet monthly to talk plants, share plants, seeds, and cuttings, and learn from guest garden/nature presenters. Most of our meetings are free and open to the public--please join us!
Our next meeting will be held at the Chico Library (1108 Sherman Ave) on March 16th. Our focus will be on having a "potting party" where we pot up colorful annual plants in to cute and unusual containers to decorate and to sell at our annual plant sale at the Chico Home & Garden Show in April.
Members, please bring any plants you'd like us to divide and pot up for the plant sale! Bring in a clump of daylilies, canna lilies, hellebores, rudbeckia, asters etc so we can divide them up and get them ready for sale. We're here to help you donate plants from your garden!
Members, also please bring in cute or unusual containers for us to put annual plants in so we can make cute containers to decorate and to sell. Think old tea pots, old boots, metal buckets, old wooden fruit crates, wooden cigar boxes, kitchen canisters, colorful coffee cans, old bowls/mugs with holes in the bottom, and even purchased containers like ceramic animals or small galvanized pots (both often for sale at the dollar stores). Let your imagination run wild!
We will have lots of colorful annual flowers and potting mix, ready to make some cute containers (and to pot up divisions of your large plant clumps you bring in).
We will have Social Time from 11:30-12:00, followed by our potting party and business meeting.
